I'm confused about"all the "wannabes and actors" reference. Are you talking about the July 20th Cabaret performance?

That's the same question that I had.

I personally would rather people understand, than misunderstand and make a mockery of the ending. I know they didn't mean to, but it just showed how uninformed people are today about our history, which means that they're most likely in a bubble about our present as well.

Anyway…these are just my thoughts on the subject.
So with you there hun .. and what is it they say .. that people who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it ..

I don't understand how anyone in the Western world can be ignorant about the Holocaust .. really, I just can't grasp that mass murder on such a scale somehow has escaped people? And all based on prejudice and ignorance and misinformation and propaganda .. we should not be letting people get away with this same crap in 2016

Sorry, climbing down from my soapbox now, but it's a scary time ...

Excellent review from the Los Angeles Daily News , except for a glaring error you will see below. I posted a comment pointing it out. Let's see if he makes a correction


Theater review: At the Pantages, ‘Cabaret’ is a stunning, chilling reminder — and a warning

Randy Harrison, known from television’s “Glee,” steps into the iconic role of the Emcee and gives an unforgettably brilliant, meaningful, astounding performance, from his first energetic jolt of a welcome through his last, disintegrating song.

Whether Harrison blends into the kick line of Kit Kat Girls or coyly plays the devil to characters selling their souls, he still draws our attention, but never so much as when he offers a straight-armed salute with his right arm and a two-fingered moustache with his left, evoking the man who sought to make Germany great again.

I can't actually envisage Randy in Glee .. although I think I've only seen two episodes and it was all a bit too saccharine for me

Hope they rectify the error Mark .. and thank you for posting another great review, although I'm beginning to notice that the deeper we are into the presidential campaign, the more reviewers are relating to this as a present tense warning.

Be interesting to know what Randy thought if he read that one! Does he read reviews?

No. He has said repeatedly that he ignores reviews.

A friend pointed out to me that the writer was probably mixing up Randy with Cord Overstreet who was on Glee for a time

Now Chord and Randy…that makes complete sense. Well, sort of. That just means that he's not REALLY that familiar with Randy. But…oh well...nobody's perfect.

Another rave review

“Cabaret” at Pantages – ArtsBeatLA

Randy Harrison is fantastic as the Emcee — bringing plenty of raunchy sexuality to his performance yet relaxed and saucy without trying too hard to impress. At one point he leads a really lewd shadow play scene. (This show is not suitable for kids.) The superb choreography is deceptively simple and effective
